 able Means.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Commissioner Carroll D. Wright's third annual report of the bureau of labor relates entirely to strikes and lockouts for the period of six years ended December 31, 1886. It gives the re- suit of the first general investigation ever made by any nation of the facts concerning strikes and lockouts for any extended period of time or for any wide extent of territory. The report covers about seven hundred printed pages and gives the details of each strike and lockout occurring in the United States during the period named. It exhibits the facts belonging to each industrial distur- bance for each locality where trouble was found without attempting to establish or de- eide upon the connection between them The following table shows the number of strikes occurring during each of the last six years, the number of establishments involv- ed and the average number of establish ments involved in each strike:

 Yesterday afternoon at the Children's County home on Shelton avenue the thirty eight small children at present in the home were given a Christmas entertainment, at which each child received gift from large Christmas tree in one of the rooms, and hap pier lot of children than these were as they received their presents would be hard to find. The entertainment consisted of carols, recita- tions and instrumental music under the charge of Mrs. Dr. Francis Bacon, who is at the head of the home and gives much time and attention to it, Miss Rebecca Bacon, Mrs. Lee Bradley, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. George R.

THE TOBoeGAN CLUB
Hold a Meeting and Discuss the Best Way to Manage the Slide for the Clubs Interest

Hold 8 Meeting and Discuss the Best
 Way to Manage the Slide for the
 Clubs Interest.
 A meeting of the members of the New Ha- ven Toboggsn club was held at Bennett & Hale,s bicycle store on Orange street last eve ming. Many of the members attended and were very enthusiastic about their new slide which will be completed this week. The meeting last evening resulted in putting the management of the slide into the hands of 8 few of the members who (although not enough members have been obtained to make the slide financial success) volunteered to make up any deficiency in financial way. The club now has 8 membership of one hun dred, among them being many of the best people of the city, but this is not enough to make the slide pay at the regular member ship fee, and unless the required number sign it is probable that on certain days the slide will be open to the public for a small admission fee until the cost is paid Then it will again become the private slide of the club. MT. Bennett, of Bennett & Hale, will probably act as superintendent at the slide during the n,onths it is in use. The next meeting of the club will be held Friday eve- ming. January 6

THE POULTRY EXHIBITION.

A Large Number of Entries From Lo. cal Exhibitors - Kncubators and BrOoders to be Shown fin operation. The members of the New Haven Poultry association met last evening and perfected arrangements for the exhibition which will be given at the Polo rink from January to 3. The entries which are daily arriving in- dicate that about one thousand birds will be shown, and judging from other indications 1t is safe to predict that the show will be one of the largest and best of it's kind ever held in this section. Among the entries of meri- torious specimens from this vicinity are the following:
 MT. O.. P. Jordan, who is known as an ex- hibitor of high class poultry, will show some of his famous white Leghorns, Houdans, Plymouth Rocks, buff Pekin bantams white Pekin bantams and silver Seabright ban tams, and other fowls to the number of about fifty.
 Wooster P. Ensigns entry consists of white Rose Comb bantams and Pekin ban tams. Alison Todd will exhibit the Monarch incubator and brooder in operation; also light Brahma fowls. E. A. Todd enters dark Brahmas. F. S. Platt will show some fine Wyandottes, buff Cochins and dark Brahmas. E L. Jones enters black Leghorns Mir. B. P.~sYale will show buff Cochins and white Coehins. G. w. Hinman enters pit game fowls. E. G. Riley has entered brown red game fowls. A.C. Agnew dark bantams. B. A. Booth breeding pen of white Cochins.
 An entry of imported African Guinea fowls has been received from Pennsylvania.
 At the meeting last evening the members expressed thanks to the merchants of this city who have donated for special premiums valuable articles, which are to be exhibited in the show windows of the Hub clothing store on Church street. ts
 The coops to be used will be furnished by Spratt, of New York, and will be used for the first time in New England.
 The secretary, MT. Howard, is very busy answering letters that contain many ina quiries regarding the exhibition. The seer etary, who is breeder and exhibitor of high class poultry, is well qualified for the position, as he is familiar with. the routine of poultry shows. The society may be congratulated on securing the services of such an efficient and agreeable secretary. Others who are en- titled to credit for management of the enter prise are J. B. Robertson, jr., Major T. A. Todd, W. P. Ensign, c. P. Jordan, Mir. E. L. Jones, Mr. A. 0. Agnew, Mir. w. R. Kirk wood and other rpernbars of tha snciatv

 By good judges it is estimated that up- ward of thirty million pounds of copper are used in Waterbury in one year. Probably no one'town in the country uses as much. Waterbury factories that are supplied with the article bought at low prices are in luck; others, whose stock is exhausted, are very chary about buying at present prices and will "wait till the clouds roll by."
 The rise in the price of copper is from 10 1=2 to F 1-2 or IS cents pound. a-s.' 2
